I need someone to neutralise this

I think there is some bias in this article which literally poured out of me as I wrote it. The major issues here are:

A) Government economic policy was not favourable to disaster relief - does my wording need changing?

B) The Catholic Churches well documented lack of active relief work - Am I being a bit too harsh here?

There are others as well, so it may need some altering here and there (Never mind several grammer mistakes I'm seeing everywhere) Denis Cavanagh 12:51, 2 September 2007 (CDT)

About to do a copyedit for spelling and grammar. On a) and b) - at first reading, it looks ok to me. Sources and references would obviously be good. Anton Sweeney 16:35, 2 September 2007 (CDT)

coverage

The article is heavy on government responses, but light on the famine itself. I will add more details. Richard Jensen 21:35, 3 September 2007 (CDT)
